Fractal Hierarchies of Dissipative Structures—Cellular Standing Internal Gravitational Waves in the Earth and Methods for Their Detection

The principal undertaking of the methods described in this work is to reveal multi-ordinal structures of gravitational instability—or dissipative structures of the Earth—and identify their typomorphic elements. The range of methodological approaches aimed at solving this issue is rather wide and includes: the analysis of seismic tomography data; maps of global geoid anomalies and gravitational potential; graphical and analytical methods for the decomposition of relief, figures representing the Earth’s gravitational field; the deciphering of space and aerial images; morphometric, structural-geomorphological and structural-geological investigations.
